God knows I haven't been defending bliz alot lately... so here goes
They have had a pretty strict policy about not announcing this crap until right before it goes live. At least they are consistant.
Most people think that the battle groups reflect some physical or server-logical grouping of servers. All of the ones mentioned for upgrades are in the same battlegroup, and Terenas isn't. Which means that probably that group as a whole is seeing worse playablity then the Terenas group. Or they have more techs local to that site. Or it is closer to the vendors manufacturing site. Or a million other things.
There is a lot that goes into these decisions when they have more then 100 relms running. Which relm is absolutly the worst isn't necessarly the top priority. They have been getting slowly around to all of the day 1 servers, Kel'thuzud got its upgrade a couple of months ago and is much better off for it.
As far as compensating people for ill advised transfers.... jebus can you imagine trying to sort out that mess. Combine that with the people who transfered to places like Mal'ginis, and then when they got there found out that EJ are just that cool that they can cause lag?
PS How did you decide on Terenas if it is that bad? Did you pick it out of a hat on day 1? Or were you just not thurough enough in your research when you rerolled?
